User's notes
Keyacris approx 12-15mm.
Known population, but good to know they are still there. 6 individuals spotted, much easier to spot as the cemetery had recently been mowed. Not sure if this is best practice for the Keyacris or not.
This is my first sighting here since last September despite regular visits to this spot.
Spotted in cloudy, windy conditions at 20°C, disproving my theory that they disappear on windy days.

Defintely scurra. Possibly a late instar nymph. No, mowing is not good for them.
